A What? A Wife?

Yup...I'm a wife! It's weird to say but it's true! I got married on May 3rd and we couldn't be happier. Everything went off without a hitch. I loved every minute of it but I'm glad all of the planning and everything is over. It's been quite a whirlwind. Our real honeymoon doesn't come until November but we did take a few days to ourselves and headed up north to Pinetop to relax and come down from it all. We hiked, we fished, and we played with the dogs. DH is back to work today while I stayed home to, well, nest. I unpacked all of our gifts and started cleaning out the kitchen of old things from my college days that have long passed their prime. Tomorrow, I'll work on the bathrooms - new towels are the best aren't they? But tonight, I cooked my first meal for my husband, as his wife. I can't tell you how cool that is to say!

I was short on inspiration but I had some frozen mahi mahi fillets from Trader Joe's in the freezer. A quick google reader search of my blogs brought up Kirsten's recipe (of course!) of Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi. I had a winner. I only needed two ingredients from the store and I was on my way. I added some wild rice and my husband was pleased, to say the least, with the meal. Kirsten's recipe is spot on so I won't repeat it here, you'll have to go visit her to get it. I plated my fish atop the rice and poured the white wine cream sauce on top to which DH of course added more! He loves his sauces....

So I'm back. I've got lots of new gadgets to explore...with more on the way. You'll be seeing a lot more of me now that I don't have wedding planning on the brain. :)
